On the evening of 12 February 1941, in the Bay of la Fresnaye, 15 young men — including 9 trainee pilots and their instructor — boarded the Buhara in silence to join England and General de Gaulle's Free France. Louis Delabruyère, barely 20 years old, was one of them. But their attempt failed...

A rare and thoroughly documented personal account of the journey of "Those of the Buhara".

In the exclusive service of France — until death. Born in 1879, died in deportation in 1945, Charles Delestraint is an unjustly obscure figure in French military history. Yet throughout his life, his successive commitments — up to the ultimate sacrifice in the Resistance — earned him a place in the Panthéon in 1989. A graduate of Saint-Cyr, he served as...

THE NETWORK - The last secrets of the Resistance

L2023028
€20.85
At the age of 100, Edgar Morin makes one final request of his biographer: to investigate the Charette resistance network, to which he belonged alongside Mitterrand, Jankélévitch, Clara Malraux and many others. A network entirely forgotten, yet decisive in the history of the Resistance, and compellingly novelistic. The Charrette network was an...

THE ABWEHR - 1939-1945: German Secret Services in France

€22.75
The first comprehensive synthesis of the role played by German military intelligence in France under the Occupation. While many organisations of the Third Reich are well known — the all-powerful state militia (SS), the Nazi party's secret police (Gestapo), or its security arm (SD) — the Abwehr is less celebrated. Yet it played a crucial role during the...

THE MAQUIS OF FRANCE - PLACES OF MEMORY

L20160287

Beyond the honours and commemorations, let us remember what the Maquis were… Who were their leaders? Why were young Frenchmen driven to resist by the compulsion of an unacceptable reality, without having fought as free men? The refusal of the STO for some, of the Occupation for others, made them outlaws in the eyes of the Vichy authorities, pushing them...
